The Gingiva<br />

The oral mucosa consists <strong>of</strong> three zones:<br />

The gingiva and the covering <strong>of</strong> the hard<br />

palate, termed the masticatory mucosa<br />

The dorsum <strong>of</strong> the tongue, covered by<br />

specialized mucosa<br />

The oral mucous membrane lining the<br />

remainder <strong>of</strong> the oral cavity.<br />

The gingiva is the part <strong>of</strong> the oral mucosa that<br />

covers the alveolar processes <strong>of</strong> the jaws and<br />

surrounds the necks <strong>of</strong> the teeth.<br />
